One Day (2024)
My soul is broken....
Only once in my 57 years on the planet had I watched a piece of TV that will stay with me forever. Now it's twice.
I was skeptical about this programme as I thought it would be lightweight and clichéd. How wrong I was!
One Day is quite simply one of the best portrayals I've ever seen of true soul aching, star crossed , deep and real love.
I read the book years ago but my goodness seeing the story unfold in this way in short episodes was something else. It starts slowly but it needs to to really convey the passing of time in the relationship between Dex and Emma.
Be warned.... It will break you. Cried until I couldn't breathe.
Nobody (2021)
Garbage
Swap the puppy for a cat braclet .. that's one minor difference between this and the awful barrage of gratuitous violence that's John Wick, ... at least Keanu Reeves was plausable whereas this guy ... just no!
Now I don't know about you but I think I might notice that my house has a mid vet secret set of switches that open up panic doors .. or that my husband has the strength of 15 Russian gangsters that have had one too many trips to MacDonalds.
Shooting, stabbing, killing and plenty of cars.. so unless you are pumped up with a boatload of testosterone and an absence of brain cells I really wouldn't bother.
If this is your bag stick with John Wick. At least he's east on the eye!

Dull and Predictable
Don't waste your time with this rubbish.
I like this type of horror genre but this is very disappointing and dull. Same scenes repeated over and over with no real interest or surprises.
I predicted the ending in the first ten minutes. Dragged myself through the tedious scenes in hope of a surprise ending but sadly my predication was right.
I could have written the storyline for this in my lunch break and still had time to pop to the shops and empty the dishwasher.
Poor horror lazy writing and awful acting. I really don't understand the high score absolutely as nothing original here and wish I hadn't bothered!
The Unholy (2021)
Tedious and Dull
This is a genre I normally like but this one... no!!
Nothing original here just a dull and poor rehash of what's been done before with some awful acting.
Nothing much happens until the last 20 minutes, and even then it's all totally predictable.
A complete yawn.
They Look Like People (2015)
Dull and pointless
Utterly and completely boring pretentious rubbish!
Don't waste your time...

Nonsense and awful acting
Having read good reviews if this movie I was very disappointed that it did not live up to my expectations. The acting is simply awful - at times wooden and other times cheesy. At the point when the main characters discover their alternate dimension alter egos their reactions were that of two people that had just discovered a new TV box set, not just witnessed something totally unbelievable and shocking. From then on it just got worse as the plot just became a predicable goodies versus badies plot. No explanation at all as to the motives of the alter egos. At one point in the film I wondered if I had missed the fact this movie was a spoof and not an actual thriller! Really don't bother with this poorly thought through and badly acted nonsense!
